Description

This beef sandwich with pink pickled onions offers a flavorful and refreshing twist on a classic sandwich, combining tender leftover beef, vibrant green beans, creamy avocado sauce, and tangy pink pickled onions inside a demi baguette. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, this recipe uses simple, leftover ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickled Onions

  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • 60ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt

Vegetables

  • 100g green beans

Sandwich Components

  • 1 demi baguette, halved
  • 60g-70g leftover avocado sauce
  • 300g leftover beef
  • handful of leftover spicy greens

Instructions

  1. Pickle the onions: Mix the finely sliced red onion with the rice vinegar, caster sugar, and ¼ tsp salt. Set aside to lightly pickle for 20 minutes, allowing the onions to soften and develop a tangy flavor.
  2. Cook the green beans: Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Immediately plunge the beans into a bowl of ice-cold water to stop cooking and preserve their bright green color. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly and pat dry.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Halve the demi baguette and spread the leftover avocado sauce evenly over the base. Layer the leftover beef and the spicy greens on top of the sauce. Then, add the cooked green beans and finish by topping with the pink pickled onions. Close the sandwich with the other half of the baguette and enjoy immediately or keep chilled for up to a day.

Notes

  • You can adjust the pickling time for the onions according to your taste preference for acidity and crunch.
  • The green beans should be cooked until tender yet crisp to maintain texture in the sandwich.
  • Make sure to pat the green beans dry after blanching to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  • Leftover avocado sauce, beef, and spicy greens can be substituted with fresh or different prepared ingredients as desired.
  • This sandwich is best eaten fresh but can be kept chilled for up to one day without loss of flavor.
